IF I was to tell you that you could use that same reasoning and try to get a job as a doctor/lawyer/engineer...would it work? If not why wouldnt you study every little piece of church history you could find. Isnt it important to have all the knowledge?

I actually haven't bought into the system 100%. Although I do go to church every Sunday. There are some things in the church that trouble me that I have not been able to resolve for myself yet.
Religion relies significantly on faith. Hoping for things that are not seen. By the will of the father it is done etc etc.
When it comes to wordly things like a career, it is generally understood that effort is required (actually the same is true in spiritual matters, we have to work for our salvation as well, faith alone is not enough to save us). When I said "
Mormons generally don't care that they don't know every single detail about the early church" notice how I said generally. I in fact do research to learn about the early days of the church.... time permitting as I do have a very demanding job.
